Visual editing
Visual editing
The visual editor shows your document as formatted text, math, figures, and tables, and saves it back as the same .tex, .typ, or .md.
Fonts, spacing, and layout come from your engine and template. For those, see Live preview.
Where to find it
- In the editor
- The Visual / Source toggle Top right corner of the editor.
- Shortcut
- Ctrl+K Then "Switch to the visual editor".
What it covers
Articles, papers, essays, and reports. Anything the editor cannot show stays in place as a code chip that you can still edit.
Cross-references
Type @ to reference any equation, figure, table, or citation. Equations keep their numbers, so a reference reads as the number it will print as.
Shortcuts
The usual keys apply: Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italic, Ctrl+M for an inline equation.
More
Each page ends with what differs in Typst and Markdown.
Equations Inline and display math, edited as math, with a symbol toolbar. Images Drag, paste, or insert a figure, then resize, caption, and number it on the page. Tables Insert by size, edit cells directly, merge, and control rules from a settings panel. Citations Type @ for a picker across your bibliography and your own figures, tables, and equations. Smart selection Select a whole block, then its parent, straight from the toolbar.
